A Lovely Tune

Love, it seems like 80% of songs today are talking about it. Whether it’s the raunchy language used to describe every sensual detail or the way it can break your Akey-Breaky-Heart. It’s everywhere around us as we are raised by one or many people who love and care for us.

We grow up learning how to respect and love one another. We learn The-Way-Love-Goes and eventually develop our own feelings toward someone that relate to this whole love thing. But as we developed into these hormone-crazed teenagers, we weren’t warned about the side effects or causes of this Crazy-Little-Thing-Called-Love.

We go head over heals on some significant other that has caught our eye and sooner or later we experience heartbreak. This tummy-turning, heart-wrenching, sickening feeling that has us Feeling-Some-Type-of-Way.

Our world is surrounded and completely involved in all things love. It controls us to a certain degree. Young girls are pressured into looking like a Pretty-Young-Thing for some unimportant male. Boys try to be the biggest and strongest not only for their own personal ego, but to pick up some fine looking honey.

Pre-adults are continuously looking for someone to share their life with. They either go clubbing to find Somebody-To-Love, or go to the closest Candy-Shop. Mid-aged people are either drinking their sorrows away or turning to the Internet in hopes for some Old-School-Love.

Everyone, no matter the age, is trying to find somebody that will put their Love-On-Top. We as humans have this incredible urge to have somebody Adorn us. We want to be someone’s Treasure and we want to Feel-The-Love. We want to have an admirable Love-Story and write our own Love-Song.

We can get so Clumsy and make mistakes, but we always know that one person that will always be our Boo in the end. From start to end, we Don’t-Give-Up, and usually, we find ourselves Crazy-In-Love with someone. And that’s just who we are.

We Bump-n’-Grind then reach the Climax and next thing you know, the Circle-of-Life has happened and the cycle repeats. We are back to being raised by those who love us.
